From Esrange in northern Sweden (near Kiruna), I watched the launching a science balloon. While my group was preparing AESOP and LEE, in the next building a colaboration was preparing a solar telescope called Sunrise. See http://star.mpae.gwdg.de/Sunrise/ for information about Sunrise and http://www.ssc.se/?id=5104&cid=14642&DivId=&Year=2009 for information about the launch. This is the initial inflation of the balloon, forming what is referred to as the "bubble".
Great video ! Go Sunrise, go !
